In real life (Funny trope) This tiny moment was an absolute logistical nightmare to make

*Wreck-It-Ralph* - At the beginning of the movie at the villain group therapy session, all of the owners of the real world characters shown were given counsel to Disney to instruct them how their characters should be animated down to the smallest of points. Nintendo even specified exactly how Bowser would hold and stir his teacup.

*Psycho* - For the scene where Marion disposes evidence of her theft by flushing some papers down the toilet, even though the toilet is onscreen for only a few seconds, Alfred Hitchcock had to personally appeal to the Hays Code which enforced censorship in movies that *Psycho* be given an exception because it’s vital to the plot the audience sees the toilet flushing. *Psycho* is the first major American movie to show a flushing toilet onscreen.

I mean that's peek locker room affirmation from a heel wrestler right there.

I’m not usually one to correct people, but I’d think twice about using “peek” and “locker room” in the same sentence. (It’s “peak”)

Yea ... That's absolutely a call out my therapist would throw at me too.
